Apply governance to one AI initiative

Give an organizational AI effort a clear purpose, accountable owner, and workable path to review.

Start with one initiative you can describe precisely. Use the tools below to connect the opportunity to the people, controls, and evidence needed to operate it responsibly.

Assess your starting point

Build an initiative brief

Opportunity

Name the workflow or decision, the problem it addresses, and the outcome the organization needs.

Ownership

Identify the accountable leader, the people doing the work, and who can approve changes.

Controls

Define the privacy, security, quality, access, and review practices that fit the use case.

Evidence

Choose the signals that show whether the initiative is useful, safe, and ready for its next stage.

A practical review sequence

  1. Diagnose: describe the current workflow and the constraint that matters.
  2. Set controls: agree on boundaries, decision rights, and review requirements.
  3. Execute: run a bounded experiment with named people and a defined output.
  4. Measure: inspect the result, capture evidence, and decide what should change next.

Keep the record short enough to use in a real meeting. The purpose is shared clarity and a decision about the next responsible step.

Use a practice example

See how an organization can frame ownership, risk, controls, and evidence in a governance brief. Use the example as a starting structure and adapt it to your own initiative.
